Engagement:

Go-To-Market Strategy & Launch Execution

Duration:

3–6 Months (Initial GTM Phase)

Industry:

SaaS – AI-Driven Data Analytics for Small Businesses

Objective

BlazeSQL was ready to enter the market with its AI-powered SQL-free data platform, but lacked a clear messaging framework, ICP alignment, and scalable acquisition strategy. Stratigia was brought in to lead the Go-To-Market (GTM) effort—shaping product positioning, crafting launch campaigns, and creating an inbound engine to convert interest into revenue.

  • Conducted customer discovery and competitive audits to define key buyer personas: non-technical SMB owners, ops managers, and lean startup teams
  • Positioned BlazeSQL as the only AI analytics tool that eliminates the need for SQL or analysts, built specifically for small businesses

✅ Website Messaging & Offer Structure

  • Rewrote core website sections with emphasis on simplicity, automation, and decision-making speed
  • Highlighted real-world use cases and built offer frameworks around free trial → guided demo → annual plans with onboarding support

✅ Landing Pages & Lead Funnels

  • Developed ICP-specific landing pages targeting AI for SMB analytics, no-code dashboards, and Excel/BI replacements
  • Included lead magnets like templates, email report samples, and case studies to accelerate signup

✅ Email & Content Launch Campaigns

  • Executed email launch sequences with product walkthroughs, competitive positioning, and upgrade prompts
  • Created blog content and product explainers that supported launch traffic and demo requests

✅ Software Directories & Brand Discovery

  • Listed BlazeSQL on major directories including G2, Capterra, and Product Hunt with optimized profiles and structured CTAs
